Such a law will probably be the cause for a whole new version of "fastest gun in the West" where politely armed citizens will race to see who can be first to get a clip full of ammo out of its carrier, into the Glock and downrange at the perp.

democommie, Thanks for pointing out that all laws "only affect the law abiding." The gun guys are so fond of that one they can't help but repeating it at every opportunity. In Henigan's book that came out last year he handled the fallacy of that remark very well. Basically his idea is that the laws are aimed at the law abiding in order to make it more difficult for their guns to end up in criminal hands.

He also makes it very clear how these slogans got started and the false premises upon which they're based. Then the members of the grass-roots gun movement start repeating and repeating these things until they take on a type of credibility. It's fascinating, but at the same time, embarrassing for otherwise intelligent people to mindlessly repeat things that are so easily debunked.

I did. It was one of those laugh, then cringe moments, when I realized that the highly trained professional was inserting a magazine into a gun while the muzzle was sweeping him and everything behind him.

I guess it's a good thing he checked to make sure it was unloaded. *face palm*

"Basically his idea is that the laws are aimed at the law abiding in order to make it more difficult for their guns to end up in criminal hands."

Ya, that is basically the mindset of every anti-gun activist. Keep putting restrictions and requirements on a right until it becomes so difficult for the law abiding to comply that you have a de facto gun ban. Of course, at that point you will have done nothing to take the guns out of the hands of the criminal. What follows next is a rise in the overall violent crime rate.
